I then took some time off and, when I came back, romantic comedy was dead. If I submitted romantic comedies--even the ones that were fine before--they immediately dismissed them as &quot;chick lit,&quot; which was a quickly dying genre! So I went younger... Congrats on your success! I know what an accomplishment it is to finally get that call.
